Tyson Fury’s next opponent can bear-ly wait for their fight. Fury, the legendary two-time world heavyweight champion, is coming out of a short-lived retirement to box Russian-born Arslanbek Makhmudov Saturday in a 12-round bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Northern London — and he faces a grizzly challenge. Makhmudov, 36, sports a 21-2 professional record with 19 knockouts and caused an online stir in February with a viral video showing him wrestling with a bear.
